Yeah. Roasted black malt. Tasted like Ballantynes. Caol ila is good but when I had it, it didn't make me go oooooooh. My cousin absolutely adores Lagavulin. I find it's pretty expensive for what it is? But it is delicious. Like you said, whisky is expensive. On the plus side that generally keeps you out of "bender" territory? We've got a local here that has an... extreme backlist. They have two different kinds of Penderyn and allow me to say with no quaver in my voice that if elves made whisky, it would taste like this. I tried some Israeli stuff too and it was good, but not really worth repeating? If anything else it's refreshing that you can get local, decent whisky damn near anywhere now.Was the stunt Ardbeg, Ardcore? If so, I also didn't think much of it when I tried it over the weekend. Enough so that I didn't include it in the notes. A damning result, that.
